Consultation starts on Aggregates West's Plymouth lorry movements plan

Plymouth residents are being asked their views on plans which would see an increase in lorry journeys through a built-up area and maybe even the widening of a £7.5m road which was only opened five years ago.

Tungsten West Plc, the company which is developing the huge Hemerdon Mine, is applying to increase lorry journeys to and from the site from 50 a day to up to 300 over five years.

The increased journeys are necessary because the company has launched a subsidiary called Aggregates West Ltd (AWL) which will use waste rock from the tungsten and tin mine as aggregate for the construction industry.
